Problem:
VBJ 6.5: org.omg.CORBA.BAD_PARAM exception when passing a string contaning a null
Resolution:
- Product Name: BES VisiBroker Edition
- Product Version: 6.5
- Product Component: ORB
- Platform/OS Version: All
Description:
Getting org.omg.CORBA.BAD_PARAM exception when passing a string
contaning a null character from server to client.
Answer/Solution:
The exception "org.omg.CORBA.BAD_PARAM" is thrown when
marshalling on the server side. This is due to the fact that
codeset support has been made CORBA compatible. Since the native
code set supported for char is ISO 8859-1 and Conversion code set
supported for char is UTF-8, it does not allow null characters in
Strings.
The release notes for VBE 6.0 gives the lists of the code set
supported by VisiBroker for Java. Here is the link to the VBE 6.0
release notes.

Also, please refer to the following article that gives more
information on codesets.

Earlier versions including VBJ 4.5 were not CORBA compatible with
respect to codeset support. Hence this exception was not seen for
that version.
